An artist named Dina Goldstein’s Fallen Princesses brilliantly depicts a realistic portrait of how things might’ve turned out for some of our beloved fairy tale princesses in the modern times. I could totally see Cinderella having some serious marriage issues due to her childhood abandonment and abuse issues coupled with being married to the “Bachelor”. The photography was beautifully done and these images do stirs emotions and impacting conversations for the audience.

Jen S forwarded me this article after our conversation on Sunday. I was telling my dear Jen that I told another friend that she should marry for money, not love. Is it because I regret marrying for love instead of money? NOOOO of course not. But I see now how much easier relationships can be if you had money. I”m sure not all relationships are like that, but I can’t help but to ponder about these things, when I look at some women who married “up”. Did they marry for love or did they marry for money? And why do their lives seem so much easier than mine? Is it wrong for me to question these things? Probably….

In this article by the lady named Lori Gottlieb called “Marry Him”, gives you a profound and dauntingly honest view on marriage and relationships for the single ladies. She tells you to settle because that’s better than being alone and being miserable. She actually gives pretty decent support for her theory and rationale behind why she feels this way. I have to say after reading this lengthy article, I think I totally agree with her on this one. Would Rachel have been more satisfied in life with Barry instead of her on-again/off-again Ross? Would Carrie have been more stable with Aiden than Mr. Big, the man who abandoned her countless times? These are really awesome questions!

I guess that may be contradictory to my religious belief. But I don’t think God wants us to sit around and wait for Mr. Perfect and put your life on a complete “hold” status or be in and out of dysfunctional relationships either…..
